Chapter 120: Planning for Peace Talks, Open Battles, and Secret Fighting
Li Yi wasn't sure what the chances of a blizzard would fall from the sky, but he thought of Zhang Ying's previous words: "Different voices!" "If the voice of resolute opposition to sending troops among the Xianbei people prevails, it will be a great blessing for the Taiping people!
"I have a plan, I wonder if it's possible?" Zhang Ying's expression was a little hesitant.
Zhang Ying is regarded as the Taiping Seagod Needle, and she also has hesitations? What made her babble? "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Li Yi glanced at her, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
"I want to make peace with Xianbei people!" Zhang Ying wanted to speak and stopped, she pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Ahh Yu Bing exclaimed, she subconsciously looked out the window, and saw that it was quiet outside the house, and there was no half a figure, so she lowered her voice and said: "The first few battles were fought smoothly, and the morale of the soldiers is strong, I am afraid it is not appropriate to make peace at this time." Besides, the decision of war and peace is not in our hands, even if we make peace, can the Xianbei people change their minds? ”
"Our conflict with the Xianbei people can be described in one sentence. The wrong war was fought at the wrong time, in the wrong place. From the first day I arrived in Taiping Village, I hoped that the Xianbei people would stop and that they could use negotiation to end this unnecessary conflict. Li Yi stood up and looked at the north from afar, his eyes full of thoughts of peace.
Neither of them spoke fiercely, but more or less agreed with the armistice, which made Zhang Ying feel a little happy. It seems that peace is still the mainstream, Zhang Ying's confidence is even firmer, and she smiled knowingly: "Taking copper as a reference, you can dress properly; Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Historical data tell us that the Lord and the Lords are mostly regarded as surrendering, while the Han and Xian contradictions are acute, and it is even more dangerous to negotiate peace with the enemy on the cusp of this storm. Therefore, peace talks need to be carried out in secret. ”
"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. The last time Liu Ping set fire to the village, it was extremely secretive, but in the end it was revealed to the world. It's hard not to let people know! Yu Bing's face was full of gloom.
"The news of the arson of the village leaked because of the ghosts inside. Fortunately, it did not cause a negative impact, but won the hearts of many people. Zhang Ying's face showed a trace of killing, but it was fleeting, and he regained his softness and gentleness in an instant: "Sometimes Xianbei people are more reliable!" ”
"Sister is ......" Yu Bing's expression was abrupt.
"That's right! Pick a messenger of peace from among the captives and let him bring back what we want to say, so that even if it does not succeed, it will not produce evil results! Zhang Ying showed a grim smile.
Su Li jumped like thunder, and he slapped the case and roared: "Stupid pig! A sucker! It's all useless waste! Then came the cracking of the vessels.
Ever since Shang Shi sent troops privately, Su Li had a sense of foreboding. Shang Shi fought bravely and had no city, and was regarded as a confidant by Su Li, thus giving him the most power. But it is this partiality that has harmed thousands of elites.
After a tantrum tantrum, Su Li slowly calmed down, and he began to think about that Li Yi.
Li Yi! How could a Han man with a humble status, who was unknown a month ago, transform in an instant, like a divine help, and eat one of his own tribes? What are the skills of this person? Is he three-headed or six-armed?
Su Li is the leader of the young generation of Xianbei, he has followed Tanshi Huai many times to fight in the east and west, especially in the battle with the Han three years ago, and has made immortal achievements.
In the sixth year of Xiping, because Xianbei entered the fortress and plundered the border counties for many years, the Han Emperor Liu Hong ordered to protect the Wuhuan captain Xia Yu, broke the Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zang Min each led more than 10,000 cavalry, respectively from Gaoliu, Yunzhong County, and Yanmen County, and attacked Xianbei in three ways.
After the Han army came out of the fortress, the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai adopted the tactics of luring the enemy deep and breaking each one, and defeated the Han army in the west and the middle without any suspense. However, there was an accident in the siege of Xia Yuhe, the Que Ji Department did not arrive at the appointed time, Huai Tou flinched, and only the Yue Le and Micah two departments entered the battlefield, although the strength was twice that of the Han army, but the inferior equipment became the death hole of the Xianbei people.
Bronze knives, wolf's fangs and arrows, rough leather coats...... Whether it is attacking or defending, it cannot be compared with the steel swords, carved arrows, and standard armor of the Han army. The battle went on extremely fiercely, and the marshal Yue Le was killed by Xia Yu in the fierce battle.
The Xianbei general was killed, and the army was facing a rout, at this moment of life and death, Su Li, who was a little handsome, was in danger, and he changed his tactics of fighting hard and hard, using the art of riding and archery, and holding the Han soldiers from afar. This tactic gave full play to the cavalry and archery advantages of the Xianbei army and consumed Xia Yu's vital strength. The two armies fought for a day and night, and the Han soldiers led by Xia Yu were defeated due to the collapse of their will.
The battle was feathered, and Su Li was promoted to the rank of marshal, but his youthful ambition also aroused envy and jealousy from many parties.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Sully did not study the Art of War, but he understood it. It was imperative to avenge the revenge of Shangshi, but this strange group of Han people made Su Li confused, and for the sake of safety, he inquired in detail about the situation in Taiping City.
Su Li re-combed it, from the first ambush, to the second time it was still an ambush in the valley, and the last time it was a stealing camp, but he didn't leave the ambush!
The successive fiascos were not only negligent on their own side, but also because the Han people were good at calculation and intrigues, especially ambush tactics.
The Han people defended the city, and they were not good at attacking the city, so if they rashly sent troops, they would have no chance of winning. If not, then by what means will you take revenge? The blood of the Xianbei people cannot be shed in vain, especially if the opponent is a Han Chinese, so it is even more necessary to return a tooth for a tooth.
What to do? Su Li racked his brains and pondered for several days, but finally did not come up with a good plan. And Su Li's subordinates were already angry, and they came to the Chinese army camp several times to ask for battle. In the face of the hot-blooded man, Su Li could only persuade with good words, using the reason that it was not suitable to send troops in winter, and strong enemies such as Huaitou and Que Ji were eyeing him as an excuse to pacify the angry soldiers.
I thought it would be calm, but I never expected that the arrival of the two handsomes would affect the strategic process.
Xiao Shuai Kepu is over forty years old, and he is an old minister in the tribe, and his prestige is close to that of the late Marshal Yuele. Kepu still has some admiration for this posterior boy, but the promotion of Su Li to the eldest handsome is greatly unexpected by him. If it weren't for that accident, there is a good chance that this handsome man would have been in Kepu's bag.
Another handsome young man, Liefan, is in his early twenties, two years older than Su Li. Both are young and promising, in terms of martial arts, the two are equal, they are equal in terms of talent, seniority, and Lie Fan has a win. Why was Su Li promoted to marshal? Just by virtue of his good luck? In the past three years, Lie Fan has not served this young handsome.
